FtT see that some one has been trying to
head off the hue and cry against decollete
dresses" said we'll known theatrical man
ager, as he toasted his toes on the steam
radiator of his comfortable office, ''by
pointing to the low-necked dresses seen on
the stage and the general healthfulness of
the women who wear them. Now, to people
who know nothing about stage life that
point would seem to be well taken. The
dresses worn on the stage are usually as thin
and scanty as those worn by society bellies.
The exposure, too, is always much greater on
the stage than at any ball or party, because
the stage is full of draughts and chills, and
is not much better than big, windy barn
anyway Yet we never hear of an acress
taking cold from wearing her fimsy costume,
however delicate and frail she may be. 1t
seems hard to understand why her society
sister should be any more susceptible. L
don't know how it is, but there is a peculiar
excitement about going on before an audi
ence that takes an actress safely through OK

their warm dressing rooms on a cold winter
night dressed in their thin low cut and
sleeveless dresses. They stand about the
wings waiting for their cues and the keen
wind blows down their backs and they shiver
pitifully in the cold as though their teeth
were going to drop out. You wonder how
the poor creatures can get through their
parts.
StBut the instant they hear their cues there
is kind of electric thrill runs through them
and they step out into the passage and never
feel a particle of cold. The wind may howl
around them hard enough to blow their wigs
